Market retreated from high due to subdued result from banking stock and consumer discretionary, while pharma continued to taste the bitterness in earnings owing to US FDA inspection and pricing pressure. This consolidation may continue in the near-term but investors may start accumulating due to surplus liquidity and likely change in RBI's stance with a 25bps rate cut in the next week policy meet.

Once 'fragile' India gets thumbs up from foreign investors
India is widely expected next week to be the first country in Asia to cut policy rates this year.
And rather than being concerned at India's falling policy rate premium over the United States, foreign investors are giving the country's markets the thumbs up.
The rupee is rallying and the country's bonds are in demand, offering some of the best inflation-adjusted returns in Asia. Inflation, long a thorn in the economy, is at its lowest in five years.

COMMENT: Morgan Stanley on RBI's Monetary Policy
We expect the RBI to signal a one-and-done rate cut at the August 2 meeting, in line with market expectations. However, given global central banks leaning against easy financial conditions, potential tapering announcement by ECB and balance sheet tightening by Fed as well as the RBI's focus on banking sector reforms, we position for a risk of a more hawkish-than-expected RBI.

Open interest in Nifty lowest for the CY17: Angel Broking
July series was the historical one for the Nifty as it ended the expiry above the milestone of 10,000-mark. At the same time, the Nifty continued its winning streak by posting a positive expiry for the seventh consecutive month. One of the important observation in the index is that the OI (Open interest) at present is lowest since the start of the calendar year 2017, which indicates majority of the longs formed during the rally seen in last seven series have been lightened.
Throughout July series, FIIs formed short positions in index futures; out of which hardly 23% of the positions were rolled to August series. However, FIIs poured liquidity in equities as they bought worth Rs 2,885 crores during the last series. In options segment, 10,000-10,200 call and 9,700-10,000 put options are attracting trader’s attention. Looking at the overall rollover data, we would advice traders to remain light in index until we see relevant fresh positions forming in either direction.
9:08 AM Rollovers
Market-wide rollovers on the last day of July series stood at 77% which is in line compared to the average rollovers of the last three series, while the Nifty futures rollover stood at 68% which is a tad lower than the average rollovers of 71% of the last three series.

COMMENT: Amar Ambani, head of research, IIFL
The market does appear to get a dizzy at heights and the late sell-off had a lot to do with the F&O expiry. While market-wide rollovers were in line with three-month average, Nifty rollovers were relatively lower than the previous three series. Nifty Open Interest is also at a calendar-year low as foreign investors The outlook is a subdued start. Global cues are mixed. While the Dow gained, the S&P and Nasdaq settled lower.
Quarterly results are bringing in some swings and for the day numbers of Larsen & Toubro, Escorts and India Cements are scheduled. Investors will prefer to wait and watch before taking the plunge as the RBI policy meet takes place next week. The mid-cap segment, which has been defying gravity continues to soar higher
